Chalgrove Men Who Served in World War One Remembered

Poppy

This is an ongoing project. Military service details of 72 men who were born and/or lived in Chalgrove before the First World War have been identified. Much has been learned and continues to be discovered about where they served, in which capacity they served, and their Chalgrove connections. The educational and interest value of the project is not solely dependent upon archival research but has been greatly enhanced by family memories, stories, photographs, documents and other memorabilia.

WWI Remembered Exhibition

Beginning in 2014 the research team has presented a series of annual exhibitions in the village each of which have displayed some of the information and material gathered so far. These have been growing in content and will culminate on Rememberance Sunday 2018, the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.

The next one will be held in the John Hampden Hall, Chalgrove on Sunday 12 November 2017 between 11:30 and 15:30, this is immediately after the Remembrance Day Service held on the village green. This will be largely focusing on events of 1917.
